Keith Olbermann parodied the breathless bullshit of right-wing exposés with this take on their latest manufactured mendacity: Obama's "secret Islamic faith."
The most on-target satire in the video is the assertion that Obama "engineered the divorce of his own parents to prevent people from learning that his father was Muslim:"
To keep up appearances, Obama cleverly violated his Islamic faith whenever he could, fooling everyone by: never going to Mecca, breaking the fast of Ramadan, eating pork and drinking alcohol, having a Christian wedding, baptizing his children, worshipping at Christian churches--for decades.
Remember: one American in five believes claims like this when they come from talk radio, or Fox Noise, or the op-ed pages.
